I need to upgrade my gauges in the future. Right now I'm using Bosch which are cheap, I need to move up into a little better quality. I've just gone through another temp guage need something more stable. I don't want mechanical. whos using what and how is it working for you,
Thanks Zigs
 
I like Auto Meter stuff and the old standby S-W
I have three of the Auto Meter mechanical in the 69
 
I really like the quality of Autometer and Speed Hut gauges. Plus they’re both American made
 
I just put in an intellitronix 6 guage unversal kit in my 71' Dart and love it.

Zigs I have had them in my wagon for about 6 years. I have the speedo also. They are in a 64 fury cluster. I will get pic tomorrow as it is hailing and raining now.

Don't kill yourself on this thing I'm a ways out. I like to research and totally second guess myself before I make a decision.
 
I went Autometer Elite. Super cool gauges that you can set to change colors depending on temp (for temp gauges), pressure (oil pressure), fuel level, and best of all RPM for your tach. Not cheap but awesome gauges.

thats cool
i got a cheap covidian oil pressure gauge with white backlighting
if the pressure drops below 5 PSI it turns red
 
Speedhut, excellent product and you can build them online on their website! Just what you need while in isolation.

Looks like it is...but a non swinger which is par for the corse. I had to fabricate a dash for my swinger so I could fit some real gauges in it.
 
I put Speedhut gauges in my Duster last winter and absolutely love them.

Including:
GPS Speedometer - 100% accurate all the time. Integrated LEDs for HiBeam and Turn signals on face. LCD Display scrolls through 0-60 time/distance, 1/4 mile time and trap speed, Odometer, Elevation, Top Speed and numerous other things. In Canada so mine reads in Kmh.
Tach - Programmable shift lights on face, with output for external shift light
Fuel - I calibrated mine so that 'E' means 10 liters left in the tank. Wickedly accurate (with aftermarket sender) at any level in the tank. Easily the most accurate gas gauge of any vehicle I've ever owned.

I bought the special crimper and wired my guage cluster up with Molex Connectors to connect it all to the stock dash wiring nice and neat.

Is that a Dart guage carrier

The carrier / binnacle is from my 1970 RHD version of the Dart which was sold here in Australia as a Valiant Hardtop. I designed the instrument panel and had it laser cut and then I modified the carrier to suit.
